Right off the top, Mr Worf, Jumper comes to mind. I saw about half of it
(through various illicit means), and it's not even close to the book, save for

Nothing is unfilmable, given today's technology. The only problem in filming
is the adaptation, which can (and, all too often, DOES) get away from its

ACK! Really sad news. I'm 54 too - how long will I have?

She helped blaze a trail for black women writers in Hollywood, starting
with 'Good Times' in the 1970s.
Wanted falls into this category as well. Except for the names of a couple of
characters and minor plot element or two it's nothing like the original.

Please tell me I'm not the only one watching this.
The first part was the most pleasing hour and 15 minutes of sci-fi I've watched
in a long time. I can't say much without getting into spoiler territory but in

I think that what happens is that the production company says this is a good
book, let's buy the rights. They buy the rights then pick a director and a
